Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Neurotoxicity of amyloid β proteins
アミロイドβタンパク(Aβ)はアミロイド前駆タンパク(APP)からβ-およびγ-セクレターゼによってペプチド分解されて生成され,Aβオリゴマーとなって神経細胞毒性を生じる.細胞外のAβ沈着に先立って細胞内に主にAβ1-42が蓄積し,神経細胞傷害をきたす.細胞内Aβの起源として,細胞内産生よりも細胞外に分泌されたAβが細胞内に取り込まれる経路が優位であると考えられている.細胞外Aβによる神経細胞毒性機構としてNMDA受容体の細胞内取り込み増加によるシナプス機能障害やグリア細胞の活性化が報告されている.一方,細胞内Aβによる神経細胞毒性機構としてこれまでに,1)ユビキチン依存性タンパク分解の抑制,2)シナプス機能障害,3)過リン酸化タウタンパクの増加,4)カルシウム仮説,5 ...

Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg [PDF]
In the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in ...

Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Background Amyloid PET imaging enables the in vivo visualization and quantification of amyloid-beta deposits in the brain. In research and clinical settings, it is further used to monitor amyloid-beta burden as well as the biological response to disease ...

Obstructive sleep apnea and amyloid-β42 in adolescents: The results of a pilot study
Background. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep leading to intermittent hypoxia, excessive arousals and disrupt of sleep homeostasis. OSA is associated with obesity as

Dendritic function of tau mediates amyloid-beta toxicity in Alzheimer's disease mouse models.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-beta (Abeta) and tau deposition in brain. It has emerged that Abeta toxicity is tau dependent, although mechanistically this link remains unclear. Here, we show that tau, known as axonal protein, has a

Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.
